More Extracts from Dakota Letters.

Our land will be in the market as soon
as we have proved up" on it, and if there
is fool left in Vermont or any other state
we want him to come out here and purchase
it. Like all the rest, it won't do to publish
the truth. John brought home a lot of
circulars published by the Vermont colony
which is coming out soon. 1t made me so
mad when l read them / could not sleep
last night thinking of the victims. They
are going to locate much farther north than
we are, where it is much colder and the sea-
son shorter. They say "there are living
streams of water" Yes, the Missouri river,
thirty miles away. Other streams and
lakes are merely sloughs which have water
in spring-time only and are dried up in
July. Water is not abundant
and will be drawback to the country for
years, or until people erect large buildings
and build cisterns. Those who have lived
here several years have cisterns in their
barns, and when the sloughs are full draw
water and fill them, to be used in time of
drouth and in winter-time. There are great
many days in winter that cattle cannot be
taken out of the barns in the billiards and
severe cold weather. Our cows froze their
teats in going half mile for water and have
not been we'll since. The colonist must be
prepared to be cheated in every move he
makes. 1t will cost double what is repre-
sented, and he will not be able to make
one move without the ready dollar-and a
good many of them. 1t don't
take long after one gets here to find out
what western sharper is. They never
mistake tender-foot," for the reason we
all expect things will turn out just as they
represent. The whole scheme
of settling Dakota is gotten up by specu-
lators and railroad men, and they alone

A Peculiar Disease.

Mr.. Editor Il have a three-year-old steer
that is in a bad condition. About two
months ago he had bunch come on one
side of his lower jaw, and then one on the
other. After awhile they broke and dis
charged and then healed up. Now the ami
NAL has them all over his head and two or
three on his fore shoulder. They vary in
size from hens egg to as large as ones
two fists. They are hard, but some of them
can be moved and do not seem to be fastened
to the bone. Can you tell me what they
are and if the disease is contagious? There
are some others in this vicinity in the same
way, but none as bad as this.
II. W. SCOTT, Waterville, Vt.
REMARKs.-In reading the first part
of the letter, which speaks of the
punches on the jaw, we were certain
they were wens, or sores caused by
some external injury; but before we
finished the letter we came to the con-
clusion that this could not be the case.
From the description given we are I'M
able to determine what the disease is.
We would like to have Mr.. Scott keep
us advised of the case and of any new
developments or information gained in
the matter. For treatment in the case,
if it were ours, we should give moder-
ate doses of sulphur and alternate with
Epson salts as something entirely safe
and tending to cleanse the system.
This, with turning out to grass, should
work cure if the trouble arises simply
from impurities in the blood; and if this
be the case, what is the cause which
shows such effects in that vicinity?

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case Of Scrofula
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIIa

I" In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
AT one time l had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold and
almost intoerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, l was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of w. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly sears, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less l do not know what it may
have done for others, but do know that in
my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. AS an evidence of
my gratitude 1 send these. facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity OF
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it, CHARLES A. ROB-
EXITS, East Wilson, N. Y.
This statement is confirmed by w. j. Hunt
ley, druggist, of Lockport N. ", who calls the
cure a great victory for Hoods Sarsaparilla.

House Numbering.

AN AMENDMENT TO THE BUILDING REGULATIONS.
There has been considerable difficulty expert
enced by the building department in numbering
houses In the District. In view OF this fact Build
Ing Inspector EntwiSle has prepared the following
amendment to section OF the building regula-
lions, which will shortly be ordered by the Dis
trtct Commissioners as, at their conference yes
terday, they agreed upon its adoption:
"He (the building Inspector shall have full
authority TO designate and direct the numbering
of all building and to order changes to be made i'll
the numbering OF any building already numbered,
when need1ul, and any person refusing TO number
or renumber, as directed by the inspector, within
such time he shall order. shall be liable to the
penalties Tor failure to comply, as provided in Sec
ton 50 OF these regulations"
Mr.. EntWlSle stated 10 a STAR reporter that here
tofore when he has ordered change in a number
the parties SO directed have refused to comply
and questioned his authority in the matter. This
became so general that 1t was necessary to call in
The services OF the district attorney for his Opin
ion OF the authority of the Commissioners. He
has decided that, under the powers vested by
Congress in the Commissioners, they cOmpe-
tent TO amend or alter the old building regula-
lions in this regard and to compel a compliance
with the same. A frontage OF 20 feet has hereto
fore been necessary to a number, but it has been
found impracticable to make this mean average,
and after this time, ii Will be lett to the discre-
ton OF the inspector.

HIS FATAL ATTEMPT TO SHOW YOUNG LADY THAT
THE WEAPON WAS NOT LOADED.
Herman A. Schimmelfennig, q clerk In the
Pension Ofice, shot and killed himself about mid
night last night, at the house Of Mrs. Doughty,
No. 1907 18th street northwest. The young man
had called TO see Miss Marguerite ID. Miller who is
also employed in the Pension ONCE and as he was
about TO leave the house he threw his light over
coat across his ARM and the young lady discov-
cred that he had a pistol in his pocket. She re-
monstrated with him about carrying pistol, and
asked him why he did so. He laughed and said
there were so many roughs In town that ne
thought best TO carry the pistol in case he should
need IL some night; that he might be assaulted,
ana III might be the means OF saving his life. He
assured her that the pistol was harmless, because
1t was not loaded, and, 10 confirm his words, he
placed the weapon TO his mouth, exclaiming, 'See,
IL can do no HARM and, with these words, pulled
Jne Trigger. There was a sharp report, and the
young lady screamed, as SchimInelfennig fell TO
the floor, MORALLY wounded. The house was In an
uproar directly, and the terrified young lady ran
INTO an adjoining room just in time to meet sew
eral OF the boarderS who had returned home. The
young man, who lay upon the floor in an uncon-
sclous condition, was picked up and placed on the
sofa, where he was made as comfortable as posi-
DIE. DIS. Ford Thompson and Lachlan Tyler were
called TO see the dying man, and found that the
outlet mad passed through the roof OF his mouth
into the brain, and that there was no hope of his
recovery. He fingered until about o'clock this
morning, when he died, without having uttered a
word after he was shot, His mother and sister.
with whom he lived at No. 1909 street, were
summoned at once They said that Herman was
in the best OF spirits when he left home he had
also appeared to be while visiting Miss Miller and
no one thought that it was case OF suicide,
although such rumOr was started. 1t appears
that there were two loads in the pistol, and that
When he took the weapon from his pocket the
Trigger was on an empty chamber, next TO one
which was loaded, and that the young man, II he
knew OF the loads in the weapon, forgot that the
chambers revolyed when the trigger was pulled
back.
Coroner Patterson viewed the body to-day, and
gave certificate OF accidental death, and the
Dody was removed to his mothers house, on n
street.

The Probation Agency,

ALETTER FROM A PRISONER TO MAJOR BLOOD.
After the establishment of the Probation Agency
In this city, Maj. Blood visited the wOrkhouse and
Jail and talked with the various persons confined
there on different charges, and has since received
a lengthy letter from Eugene Steiner de Mollers-
burg, the young Frenchman. who is serving a term
for theft. In the letter the young states that
after coming to this country his parents sent him
money each week until he managed to obtain
situation. when he notified them that he could get
along without their assistance but before the mes
sage arrived at his parents home in France he
lost his position and he was again thrown upon
the world Il pennieSS stranger. He then got en-
ployment in common theaterS and was promised
Sl..I0 week, but never received any pay. He does
not deny his guilt, but thanks Maj. Blood for his
kindness and says he intends TO lead better life in
the future. Yesterday Judge Smell entrusted an
other person to Maj. Blood who has been before
the court many times ON account OF his drinking
habits, and the major expects to improve his hab-
it's in the future.
